iMac 21" Mid 2010 Model Freezes at the loading screen
Hi,
I have an older iMac (Mid 2010) which was running Mac OS Sierra. I have recently upgraded so I wiped the install and hard drive as recommended, using the Cmd-R approach to get into Disk Utility.
Sadly, each time I now turn it on I get the spinning globe for 10 minutes and the the grey loading screen where the bar eventually fills all the way up but then hangs. I have left the iMac on for a further 24 hours but it simply doesn't load.
Now, none of the Safe Mode or Disk Utility modes work (CMD + R, CMD + R + P etc). I have unplugged the cable for 15 seconds then restarted - still no joy.
Sadly I am out of options and I wondered whether someone could point me in the right direction.
